opens.\u00a0 To the surprise of the eagle-eyed patrons of the pub in which this ceiling belongs,\u00a0 two beings walk through it bitching loudly about &#8216;bad service&#8217; and &#8216;don&#8217;t expect a good review!&#8217; before discovering they aren&#8217;t on ground level and plummeting a bit to the floor below.<\/p>\n<p>Spikelangelo rubbing his shoulder:\u00a0 Oh,\u00a0 oww.\u00a0\u00a0 Now where are we?<\/p>\n<p>Simon doesn&#8217;t bother to get up:\u00a0 You&#8217;re such an @$$&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>There is a faint muffled sound of pain and panic.<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 You tell me that every time.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve lost count, dood.<\/p>\n<p>Simon:\u00a0 Well, It&#8217;s true.\u00a0 We wouldn&#8217;t be in this situation to begin with if-<\/p>\n<p>Spike joins in with the most monotone voice he can summon -I hadn&#8217;t gotten into a big fight with-<\/p>\n<p>The faint muffled sound becomes much more frantic as Simon realizes it is under him and gets up.<\/p>\n<p>Spike and Simon lay their eyes on this little Asura clad in cool blues and purples,\u00a0 and they become immediately excited.\u00a0 They look around and see Norn,\u00a0 Humans, and Sylvari!\u00a0 \u00a0Unfortunately, Charr are here too.<\/p>\n<p>The pair high-five with incredible enthusiasm and spring to the nearest table to gather themselves over some celebratory drinks.<\/p>\n<p>The flattened Little Asura:\u00a0 Hey!\u00a0 That was my table&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 Well I think I know where we are,\u00a0 but in which mists?<\/p>\n<p>Simon:\u00a0 and in what timeline?<\/p>\n<p>Spike pouts:\u00a0 How many places have we gone to slash been kicked out of?<\/p>\n<p>Simon puffs his flame in thought but the Little Asura, with the aid of her staff, climbs on to the opposing chair.<\/p>\n<p>Little Asura:\u00a0 EXCUSE ME!<\/p>\n<p>Spike doesn&#8217;t see the Asura sitting over the table, just the top of the staff and is startled, thinking the staff is talking, and hits the table with his knees with force.\u00a0 The shock of the table slams into the Little Asura and knocks the staff out of her hand sending the staff flying into the side of the head of a neighboring Norn.\u00a0\u00a0 The not-at-all enthused Norn glances over to see the Asura trying to point at Spike, but Spike and Simon are sitting facing each other having a conversation and are otherwise engaged with each other and this poor Little Asura is all out of excuses.\u00a0\u00a0 This behemoth of a Norn hands the Little Asura her staff back and growls at her.\u00a0 She tries to look cute and tries to bang on the table in frustration, which is difficult considering the table is taller than she is.<\/p>\n<p>The Little Asura makes some exclamations of frustration and pulls out a device from somewhere within her robes.\u00a0\u00a0 She presses a button and it unfolds a bit and whirrs into life!\u00a0 Hopping on to it,\u00a0 she ascends to eye level with everyone, where she can be taken more seriously.\u00a0 However,\u00a0 in an attempt to yell at Spike and Simon, she floats backwards at them while demonstrating she hasn&#8217;t yet mastered the controls of her craft.\u00a0\u00a0 She continues to float backwards between the faces of the two and takes a moment to laugh and wave awkwardly, while still fidgeting uncomfortably with her new device.<\/p>\n<p>Spike and Simon pause to look at her, then back at themselves then the most warming laughter erupts in the room as this Little Asura is now the highlight of attention.\u00a0 Knowing she isn&#8217;t being impressive,\u00a0 she tries to look cute again.\u00a0 Spike leaps from his chair!<\/p>\n<p>Spike grabs her off her device and waves her around in the air, effortlessly:\u00a0 AAWWW!!!\u00a0 Look at you!\u00a0 You&#8217;re so cute!<\/p>\n<p>The Little Asura is beginning to get motion sick and demands to be let down, while also letting go of her staff again.<\/p>\n<p>Spike squees! with joy and drops The Little Asura, who lands on the table of the monstrous Norn while the staff unfortunately dings off his head again.<\/p>\n<p>The Little Asura scrambles to her feet and inhales to yell at Spike but her outstretched hand touches her flying device that just so happens to be floating by at that precise moment.\u00a0 The gargantuan Norn looks at her and her little flying device and growls angrily.\u00a0 The Little Asura tries her best to grab her staff, mount her device and scramble away,\u00a0 however she starts moving backwards again and doesn&#8217;t have turning mastered either and flies into the Norn&#8217;s tankard, emptying its contents onto the table.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Little Asura tries one last time to look cute before she is promptly lifted up and physically hurled through a nearby open window, out of the establishment, with excessive force.<\/p>\n<p>Spike and Simon finally get their drinks and cannot help but laugh.<\/p>\n<p>Simon pouts, although it&#8217;s hard to tell:\u00a0 I do kind of feel bad for her.<\/p>\n<p>Spike puts an already empty mug down:\u00a0 Yeah,\u00a0 her only defense was to look like a puppy.\u00a0\u00a0 She was so small and cute.<\/p>\n<p>Simon giggles, his flame rhythmically pulsing.<\/p>\n<p>Spike tries to take a drink out of the other mug, but can&#8217;t due to laughter:\u00a0 and poor puppy &#8211; she can&#8217;t even drive her own device.<\/p>\n<p>Simon \/hmms:\u00a0 Puppy&#8230;\u00a0 She is very small.\u00a0\u00a0 I kind of want to sing &#8220;Atomic Dog&#8221; \u00a0next time I see her.<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 You come up with strange ideas, dood.<\/p>\n<p>Simon grooves to the song in his head:\u00a0 &#8220;a-tom-ic dooooooggggg&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Spike grins at his friend and just sips on his drink.<\/p>\n<p>The door of the establishment barely creaks open and a highly annoyed little figure walks in, covered in filth.\u00a0 The owner yells immediately about not letting anyone covered in Pig @#$% in his pub,\u00a0 and the Little Asura wants to know what the owner is going to do about it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The owner blinks and threatens to punt her like a ball back into the filth, which draws the laughter of everyone within earshot.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She growls angrily and walks back out.<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 Poor little puppy,\u00a0 should we go help?<\/p>\n<p>Simon:\u00a0 You and your @#$%ing wanting to help everyone.\u00a0 That&#8217;s most of our mess right now!\u00a0\u00a0 We&#8217;d have godamn found Crysania by now if you weren&#8217;t trying to help everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Spike pouts:\u00a0 Sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Simon&#8217;s flames return to normal:\u00a0 Look dood, I want to help too.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve been lost for what feels like years.\u00a0\u00a0 We&#8217;re no closer to finding Crysania, and we haven&#8217;t seen or heard from hardly anyone in essentially forever-<\/p>\n<p>Simon looks at the Camera:\u00a0 -you know who you are-<\/p>\n<p>Simon continues in his frustration:\u00a0 -I don&#8217;t want to give up but we need a break.<\/p>\n<p>Spike tries to follow Simon&#8217;s gaze but just sees the wall of the pub:\u00a0 Dood, you confuse me so often.<\/p>\n<p>Simon scoffs:\u00a0 That&#8217;s hard?<\/p>\n<p>Spike shrugs:\u00a0 Sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>Spike gestures for two more drinks when the Little Asura comes back in,\u00a0 drenched, but not covered in @#$%.\u00a0\u00a0 The owner gives her a once over and shrugs.\u00a0\u00a0 The Little Asura comes immediately back over to the pair and scales both the chair and the table.\u00a0\u00a0 She&#8217;s now standing face to face with them,\u00a0 and Spike can&#8217;t contain himself.<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 LOOK AT YOU!\u00a0 You&#8217;re all wet and miserable,\u00a0 but you&#8217;re adorable!\u00a0 You&#8217;re the cutest little puppy ever!<\/p>\n<p>Simon nods in agreement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Puppy&#8221; is thrown off balance:\u00a0 Wait, what?\u00a0 Did you just refer to me as a puppy?<\/p>\n<p>Spike leans forward with his head in his hands and baby-talks to &#8220;Puppy&#8221; : Who&#8217;s-just-the-cutest? You!\u00a0 Yes-you-are.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Puppy&#8221; : Excuse me!\u00a0 I am not a puppy!<\/p>\n<p>Spike leans back in his chair and visually measures the size of his mug to the size of &#8220;Puppy.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0 She is not amused.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Puppy&#8221; : Ok,\u00a0 well just WHO are you then?\u00a0 Some illustrious adv-<\/p>\n<p>Spike slams the table with enough force to knock &#8220;Puppy&#8221; off balance.\u00a0\u00a0 Simon mumbles &#8220;oh no&#8230;&#8221; briefly, and from some depths of one of Spike&#8217;s many pockets he produces a (extraordinarily) worn card that he tries to just casually toss on the table, but any observer can see he cares about this a great deal.\u00a0\u00a0 The card is tattered, stained, and burned a bit, but is a prized possession.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is a 5-point flower logo with the words &#8220;The Quindicate&#8221; underneath.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Puppy&#8221; : The Quindicate?\u00a0 You mean Syndicate?<\/p>\n<p>Simon&#8217;s flames puff and he mutters: Oh now you&#8217;ve done it.<\/p>\n<p>Spike grumbles:\u00a0 No, the QUINDICATE.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Puppy&#8221; : Do you just go around putting QUIN in front of everything?<\/p>\n<p>With the speed only a seasoned warrior can muster, Spike slaps the ever loving @#$% out of the Little Asura.\u00a0 However,\u00a0 given relative sizes, Spike takes her clean off her feet and sends her staff flying yet again.\u00a0\u00a0 She watches helplessly, in a panicked slow-motion, as the staff tumbles towards the head of the colossal Norn.\u00a0\u00a0 The Norn leans forward to drink from his tankard as the staff soars just behind his head,\u00a0 formerly where his head was.\u00a0\u00a0 The shocked, stinging, Little Asura, breathes a sigh of relief as the staff clatters harmlessly in the corner of the pub.<\/p>\n<p>Realizing he likely has dirty water, mud, and pig @#$% all over his hand, Spike looks for a suitable place to wipe while making a look of mild disgust.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Simon&#8217;s amusement over the complete apathy over the state of the Little Asura is visible as the rhythmic pulsing of his flames return,\u00a0 but he does go fetch her staff for her and return with drinks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Puppy&#8221;\u00a0 : Thanks! I could use thi-\u00a0 wait a minute!\u00a0 This is water!\u00a0 From barely a shot glass!<\/p>\n<p>The Little Asura turns to glare at the owner, who merrily waves back at her.<\/p>\n<p>The Little Asura has had just about enough and throws the rest of the water at Simon, and everything changes.<\/p>\n<p>Simon&#8217;s flames barely become glowing embers and he becomes motionless, as if staring into cold space.<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 No!\u00a0 no no no.\u00a0 Dood!<\/p>\n<p>Spike shakes Simon, somewhat vigorously.<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 Come on, Dood!\u00a0 Snap out of it!\u00a0\u00a0 You&#8217;re not there, in that <em>place that doesn&#8217;t need to be mentioned, <\/em>\u00a0\u00a0We&#8217;re not even in the same part of the multimists!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Puppy&#8221; : Yeah, what was it about multim-<\/p>\n<p>Spike, turning to the Little Asura :\u00a0 SHUT UP!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Puppy&#8221; recoils a bit but Spike is unable to get Simon back in the present.\u00a0\u00a0 He&#8217;s essentially gone.\u00a0\u00a0 Spike slumps back in his chair, defeated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Puppy&#8221; asks nervously:\u00a0 Did I kill him?<\/p>\n<p>Spike shakes his head: No, but you reminded him of something terrible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Puppy&#8221;: So, your friend has some unresolved, shall we say, PTSD issues?<\/p>\n<p>Spike lifts his head up to stare a hole through the Little Asura.<\/p>\n<p>The Little Asura smiles and offers the Quindicate card back to Spike:\u00a0 I like the card,\u00a0 it&#8217;s well designed.\u00a0\u00a0 It&#8217;s been around.\u00a0 I imagine you both have as well.\u00a0 I meant no harm.\u00a0\u00a0 I&#8217;m something of a mental health expert,\u00a0 kind of a recent graduate &#8211; but we all start somewhere, right?<\/p>\n<p>Spike sighs:\u00a0 So you really ARE a puppy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Puppy&#8221;:\u00a0 Well&#8230;metaphorically, but not really.\u00a0\u00a0 I&#8217;m Skye.\u00a0 Skye Cimaroon.<\/p>\n<p>Spike chuckles:\u00a0 Skye Cinnamon?<\/p>\n<p>Skye grumbles:\u00a0 Cimaroon.<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 I prefer puppy.<\/p>\n<p>Skye pouts:\u00a0 I don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 Well whatever,\u00a0 I have to get Simon out of his water-nymph flashback.<\/p>\n<p>Skye \/ponder:\u00a0 I&#8217;ve never seen a water-nymph in person.<\/p>\n<p>Spike sighs:\u00a0 Simon really had the hots for this one,\u00a0 in her normal form &#8211; and then&#8230;\u00a0 Well the rest is not suitable for puppy ears.<\/p>\n<p>Skye stamps her feet:\u00a0 I&#8217;m not a puppy!<\/p>\n<p>Spike continues unfazed:\u00a0 Simon was just traumatized,\u00a0 with him being on fire and all that.<\/p>\n<p>Skye:\u00a0 I&#8217;ve never-<\/p>\n<p>Spike cuts her off, having heard it a million times:\u00a0 You get used to it.<\/p>\n<p>Skye and Spike share a few quiet moments before Skye breaks the silence:\u00a0 Why did you slap me?<\/p>\n<p>Spike: I did not.<\/p>\n<p>Skye looks stunned:\u00a0 You most certainly did.<\/p>\n<p>RepubliSpike: Nope, fake news.<\/p>\n<p>Skye shakes her head in confusion:\u00a0\u00a0 Wait, what?\u00a0\u00a0 I asked you if you just put QUIN in front of everything and you slapped me.<\/p>\n<p>RepubliSpike: No. You&#8217;re fake news.<\/p>\n<p>Skye&#8217;s big cute eyes narrow:\u00a0 But you DO put QUIN in front of everything&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 No.\u00a0 QUINterage doesn&#8217;t work.\u00a0 Actually, it kind of does.\u00a0 QUINterfuge doesn&#8217;t?\u00a0 Maybe,\u00a0 doesn&#8217;t really roll of the tongue as well.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anyway, pups,\u00a0 I need to get my Quindicate buddy here back in action and maybe find the rest of them.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve a mission to return to.<\/p>\n<p>Skye brightens:\u00a0 Who are the rest of the Quindicate?<\/p>\n<p>Simon&#8217;s flames explode into life:\u00a0 SSSSHHHH!!!\u00a0\u00a0 Eyes and Ears everywhere!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No.<\/p>\n<p>Skye, being frightened by the flash of spiritual fire, stands there stunned.<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 Sorry,\u00a0 we&#8217;ve met our Quindicate members in other parts of the multimists and there are some consistencies.\u00a0\u00a0 We&#8217;ve learned there are just some dos-and-don&#8217;ts.<\/p>\n<p>Skye&#8217;s Asuran curiosities are piqued:\u00a0 Such as?!<\/p>\n<p>Spike stands up and stretches:\u00a0 Sorry, Puppy.\u00a0 If you don&#8217;t know about the Quindicate,\u00a0 you shouldn&#8217;t ask.<\/p>\n<p>Skye whines:\u00a0 But I wanna know&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Spike smiles, gently:\u00a0 Look,\u00a0 some people aren&#8217;t meant to be.\u00a0 Like when he tried to hook up with that one girl &#8211; AND SHE TURNED OUT TO BE A WATER-NYMPH!<\/p>\n<p>Simon mutters: &#8230;we were only there because of you in the first place&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Spike ignores him: and you, puppy, can&#8217;t even pilot your own craft.\u00a0\u00a0 You don&#8217;t have what it takes to be in the Quindicate.<\/p>\n<p>Skye, defiantly:\u00a0 Ha!\u00a0 I bet your little &#8220;Quindicate&#8221; sucks.\u00a0 I bet you are all harmless and you can&#8217;t do anything right.<\/p>\n<p>Just then a red arrow flies in and impales itself on the table just at Skye&#8217;s feet, with a message tied to it.<\/p>\n<p>Skye leaps back in horror, and shrieks loudly.<\/p>\n<p>Spike and Simon grin widely!<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 Go ahead, puppy.\u00a0\u00a0 Read the message.<\/p>\n<p>Skye, with visible trepidation, unwraps the message:\u00a0 &#8220;See you soon.\u00a0 Signed, Lord Silverlock and Lady Neveah&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Spike and Simon cheer wildly and do a little dance.<\/p>\n<p>Simon sings: &#8220;THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!\u00a0 THE BOYS BACK IN TOWN!!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Skye:\u00a0 It&#8217;s good to know there are Women in The Quindicate.<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 Oh little puppy,\u00a0 Women head many of our divisions &#8211;\u00a0 Finance, Menagerie, Mispronunciation, Sarcasm-<\/p>\n<p>Skye:\u00a0 Oh, Sarcasm, really?<\/p>\n<p>Spike, sincerely:\u00a0 Oh, very good!\u00a0 Needs work though.\u00a0 Not as good as the master.<\/p>\n<p>Skye stands where with a baffled look on her face.<\/p>\n<p>Spike and Simon abruptly walk to the bar and toss some coin at the owner and make for the door.<\/p>\n<p>Skye:\u00a0 Wait?!\u00a0 Where are you going?<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 To find our friends.<\/p>\n<p>Skye:\u00a0 Me too!<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 OH NO!\u00a0 The last time someone new came along ended poorly.<\/p>\n<p>Skye hops on her flying machine:\u00a0 Well tough,\u00a0 you can&#8217;t stop me!<\/p>\n<p>Spike and Simon both laugh as they watch this cute little Asura float backwards and struggle to turn.<\/p>\n<p>They look at each other and shrug.<\/p>\n<p>Spike:\u00a0 Keep telling yourself that, kid.<\/p>\n<p>They leave, with her trying desperately to follow&#8230;backwards.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LuyS9M8T03A\">George Clinton &#8211;
